Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2007-11-27 15:37:54 EST 
It would be nice to be able to get the line number corresponding to the name of a member (type, field, method).
When I want to create a marker on a field, I can get its name range using the API on IField, but then I need to reopen the same source to retrieve the line number corresponding to the offset of the range.
Not very efficient, when the corresponding line could have been persisted when the range was computed.
